I decided to make a Baby card using the adorable Baby Set, the kit contains black outline and coloured images for both a boy and a girl. I used the black outline image and coloured it with ProMarkers - not that it needs much colouring!

The sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamp. I embossed some lines around the outside and added the image to a pale blue card base - very Clean and Simple.

I have decided to join some of my blogging buddies and visit Erika at Snappy Crafts today to show a golden oldie, I hope she doesn't mind. This is the very first card that I ever blogged back in April 2011.

The stamp is Outdoor Adventure by Sugar Nellie, coloured with ProMarkers and the sentiment is a Polkadoodles stamp. The standard of photography hasn't improved much - hubby is going to buy me a new camera for my Birthday, hopefully that will help!

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend, hubby is going out for the day on Sunday so guess what I will be doing!

It's time for our mid challenge reminder at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, our theme is: Friends, chosen bySue Kment - alternatively you can enter an Anything Goes card just as long as you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have used an adorable decoupage image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Decoupage CD ROM.

My Papers are from Nitwit Collections and the sentiment is from a Paper Creator kit. I have used a quite basic layout, I really don't think these gorgeous images need over designed backgrounds, I couldn't decide whether to centre the sentiment under the image or the whole card, on reflection I think it would have looked better in the centre of the card.

My eldest son's girlfriend asked me to make a card for her Father's Birthday, the only brief I had was it had to have something to do with 'fishing' - this is what I came up with.

I have used Alf Fishing from the DigiStamp Boutique and coloured him with ProMarkers.

The sentiment is also from the DigiStamp Boutique and my papers are from Nitwit Collections. I inked the edges of all of the papers and used a Clearly Besotted Scalloped Border die on the central border panel.

I'm a day late with my House-Mouse and Friends Monday DT card, Oops, better late than never!

It's time for a new challenge at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, our theme is: Friends, chosen bySue Kment - alternatively you can enter an Anything Goes card just as long as you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have used a fun decoupage image from Joanna Sheen's Gruffies and Happy Hoppers CD ROM.

My Papers are from the MME Cupid's Arrow collection and the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat. My only embellishment is some card candy.

It's time for a new challenge at Ooh La La Creations and the theme for the next fortnight is Add Something Green.

Green is not a colour that I use very often so I chose papers with a lovely pastel green base.

I have used a fabulous image and papers from the Ooh La La Creations Say It With Words CD to make my card. This is such a beautiful CD, on which you will find a selection of images and quotes from Marie Rayner's paintings.

Everything used to make my card comes from the CD apart from the ribbon, button and twine, these are all from my stash. I also used one of the inserts to decorate the inside of my card.

It's time for a new challenge at Di's Digi Designs and the theme for the next fortnight is Lots of Embellishments.

I chose to use the gorgeous Pots of Hedgehog Love image, I coloured my image with ProMarkers and lightly inked the outside with Distress Ink.

I have used a Crafter's Companion embossing folder on the base layer and the frame is a Spellbinders die cut. I know there might not be lots of embellishments by most peoples standards, but there are a lot for me! I have added a bow, a flower, black gems and a butterfly.
